The power of love...........
As i watched the recent wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, i was pleasantly surprised by the homily from Reverend Michael Curry. I could see that many of the guests in the audience were disturbed. To be honest, it made me uneasy but in a good way. His words seemed to penetrate the heart and his powerful message could not be ignored!
His homily touched on a number of subjects including the history of slavery in the United states, the industrial revolution and the discovery of fire...e.t.c. But the main theme was the power of love and not just "romantic love" but the redemptive power of love. The world we live in today is so full of selfishness and hatred, there is alot of bitterness and lack of compassion for one another. As i write this today, my country Uganda has been plagued by shootings of public figures and numerous kidnaps. We used to be such a peaceful people but oh how things have changed!
This world needs to rediscover love in all its forms and as Reverend Curry said, "if we can harness the power of love, then it will be an even greater disovery than fire". I truly believe that and if we can learn to love one another selflessly, if we can try to compromise when faced with a difference in opinions, if we can have compassion for those in great distress, we can truly make a new world. Reverend Curry asks us to imagine a world where love is the way.........I was so touched and amazed at the wisdom coming from this man! Wisdom that can only come from God!
The summary of the life of Jesus is perfect love and perfect charity....a life that ended with a cruel and painful death and the purpose of all that ? LOVE......redemptive love that has and will forever change this world! God bless you Reverend Curry and God bless you all!
